This one-day essentials course prepares learners for the Certified OpenStack Administrator (COA) exam and serves roles such as project managers, sales engineers, development managers, and entry-level cloud operations personnel. With over 80% of OpenInfra members reporting inquiries about migrating from VMware to OpenStack in 2024, demand for OpenStack skills has surged, driven by digital sovereignty, AI workloads, and licensing changes.

The hands-on labs are delivered through Strigo.io, a cloud-based lab environment where participants gain practical experience navigating the OpenStack dashboard and command-line interface. A key learning scenario involves simulating a cloud migration workflow, where students configure virtual networks, launch instances, and manage images—mirroring real-world tasks performed when transitioning legacy applications to private or hybrid clouds. All Mirantis courses are vendor-agnostic, ensuring learners work with pure OpenStack deployments without proprietary add-ons.
